Episode 6: The Quiet Exit – When People Leave Without Leaving

Description:
Not all exits are loud. In this episode, we explore the silent kind—the emotional withdrawal that happens when people stop showing up fully, even if they never walk away. Whether it’s a burned-out officer who still punches in or a parent who’s physically present but emotionally checked out, quiet exits are everywhere.

We dive deep into the subtle signs of disengagement at home and in corrections, how loss of purpose quietly erodes presence, and what it takes to help someone (or ourselves) return from that place.

This isn’t about guilt. It’s about grace—and learning how to rebuild connection when the passion fades but the role remains.

Key themes:
•Emotional disconnection in high-stress professions
•Burnout, hopelessness, and hidden exits
•Rediscovering purpose and reclaiming presence
•Leading and loving someone back—without pushing too hard
